A. Make Her Inhale Steam Steam therapy is a good option, especially if your child has a blocked nose, accompanied by a wet cough. The warmth of steam will thin the mucus and make it flow out easily. You can administer steam in either of the following ways: Boil water in a bowl or a tub and add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to it. Allow your child to inhale the steam.Run hot water in the restroom. This will fill the room with steam.
